HeliBoard
A gesture typing keyboard for Android devices based on AOSP, designed to provide more efficient text input on mobile touch screens.
Product Information
- Description
- HeliBoard implements gesture-based text input for Android devices by building upon the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) keyboard framework. Users can type by sliding their finger across the keyboard layout, connecting letters to form words without lifting their finger between key presses. This approach reduces finger movement and cognitive load compared to traditional tap-typing, potentially increasing input speed and accuracy on touchscreen devices. The software integrates with AOSP-derived keyboard systems, offering customizable layouts, word prediction, and dictionary management while maintaining compatibility with standard Android text fields. Its open-source nature allows developers to examine, modify, and contribute to the codebase, fostering community-driven improvements to mobile text input efficiency.
